Before yesterday I didn't know a lot about Kentucky Wildcats wide receiver Dicky Lyons other than he caught a lot of passes from Andre Woodson over the last few years, including a huge 3 touchdown performance against Florida last fall. Today, I know way too much about Lyons.
For whatever reasons, Lyons thought it would be fun to share a crazy dream he'd had the night before with reports at the SEC Media Days. Here's a look inside his mind:
"I’ve been having these creepy dreams about [my fiancé] leaving me. ‘Cosmo’ says it’s natural to have these dreams. But I’ve been having these dreams that she’s leaving me, and this other dream the other night, I went out, and I’m following her, right, because I’m having suspicions.Oh my. Where to start?
“So then I find her at this bar, and I go up to her and I’m trying to talk to her. I said, ‘What are you doing?’ And she’s like, ‘I just don’t want to marry you.’ I’m trying to shake her, and slap her out of it, and I’m like, 'Focus!' And I slap her, and then I turn around, and Matt Stafford punches me in the nose. Matt Stafford goes, 'You don’t hit women.' And then all of a sudden their backup quarterback who is now at Delta State, Blake (Barnes), he comes hitting me and then I’m like fighting off all these quarterbacks, (Brian) Hoyer from Michigan State, all the guys who I was at with the Manning camp started jumping in. I did pretty well because I was biting them, I was twisting their arms, I knew all these Army Ranger tricks in my dream. I mean, it was just crazy. I was laughing about it. I texted [Stafford] and said, ‘I’m dreaming about you.’”
Lyons added that Stafford never responded.
“I don’t know if he likes me that much,” Lyons said.
So let's see... first he's reading Cosmo. That's when you knew this was going somewhere special. Then he's beating up his fiancé for leaving him. And then an entourage of quarterbacks comes to beat you up, in particular rival Georgia QB Matt Stafford, whom he later sends a note sharing that he's the subject of his dreams.
Totally normal. And to think Stafford never texted him back.
Well, if Lyons starts dreaming about another 8-5 season without All-American Andre Woodson, then we'll know he's really lost it.
Here's Dicky providing the spectacular in reality:
